Aljada is Sharjah’s landmark megaproject—conceived by Arada and launched in September 2017 as the emirate’s largest ever urban development, sprawled across 2.2 km² (24 million sq ft) and valued at AED 24 billion (~USD 6.5 billion) . Often called the “Downtown of Sharjah,” this visionary district is designed to accommodate around 70,000–75,000 people, blending 25,000 residential units—from towers and townhouses to villas—with commercial zones, hotels, schools, healthcare, sports complexes, cultural venues, and lush green corridors.


Master‑planned for experience and sustainability, Aljada features two 2.2 km-long linear parks, a dynamic Central Hub—home to a musical fountain, cafés, restaurants, skate parks, extreme sports zones, and the region’s largest children’s adventure complex—as well as East Boulevard’s vibrant retail and dining strip . The “creative district” (Naseej and Tiraz zones) already boasts over 7,500 completed homes, with iconic structures like Il Teatro—designed by Tadao Ando—backed by smart‑home integration, health clubs, pools, and BBQ courtyards.

Strategic connectivity is central: Aljada lies just a 5-minute drive from Sharjah International Airport, adjacent to University City and SAIF Free Zone, with direct access to Al Dhaid and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Roads—providing quick access into Dubai and beyond . The development is being delivered in multiple phases, with initial homes and leisure facilities launching from 2019, and a full build-out anticipated by 2025–2028.

In essence, Aljada reimagines city living in Sharjah—creating a self‑sustained, walkable urban district rich in culture, leisure, education, workspaces, and community amenities. It blends heritage-inspired design with 21st-century infrastructure to establish a lifestyle-centric destination with high liveability and strong investment appeal.
